Aliens: Colonial Marines Dev Diary #3

Aliens: Colonial Marines Dev Diary #3

Alien tension

Written by osubluejacket on 14 August 12 at 21:08

There's something around the corner... it's moving... you hear it. The motion detector keeps beeping, but you can't see it. What is it? Is it a xenomorph or just the cat?

I don't know.If there's one thing that (most of) the Alien movies got right, it's the tension. Everyone knows that nothing brings out the white knuckles like the knowledge that a xenomorph is hiding somewhere in a nearby air duct. Fortunately for gamers, Gearbox knows that this is a huge draw to the franchise and is showing off how they're working that tension into Aliens: Colonial Marines in their third developer diary.



Aliens: Colonial Marines will be bringing the white knuckle starting on February 12th, 2013.

I must say it looks decent, but somewhat dissapointing with the almost step back in graphics, its not 2007 anymore, pick it up with engines please. I will say my freind and I will give it a good run, looks very fun and different from the typical shooter

So, Colonial Marines and Dead Space 3 are arriving at about the same time. Guess which one I'll be buying?

I pointed something similar to this out in the last trailer. There was a cut scene were the player sticks his middle finger up at the screen - very Duke Nukem Forever. It made me cringe :(
